Samsung Health Tracks My Progress

The older the kids get, the busier I get. Now, I’m not complaining about that but I am complaining that there aren’t enough hours in the day. And if I’m honest about it, I don’t even have time to get sick. I go and go and go until my get up is gone and I just can’t go anymore. I’m always so busy taking care of others, that I often have to remind myself that I need to take care of me too. Until this past week when I didn’t have any other choice but to rest until I felt better. Then I had a reaction to a shot and well, let me just say, I made a vow to myself that I would do better at taking care of my health. Because technology is a big part of my life, I started by seeing what apps my Samsung Phone has that could help me in that area.

After scanning through different apps, I found the perfect one. I didn’t even realize that all Samsung phones have a Samsung Health app. I blame my lack of knowledge about my new phone, on lack of time. All this time I’ve been missing out on ways that Samsung Health tracks my activities, nutrition and sleep, and delivers insights based on my progress. This app really does help keep me motivated.

One of the best features Samsung Health has is it allows busy parents like me (and you) to see a doctor online via our Samsung devices. It only takes minutes to see a board-certified doctor and we don’t even have to wait for an appointment. How convenient is that? It doesn’t matter what hours you work because they are available 24/7. Online doctor consultations are covered by many top health plans. You can even get a prescription if needed, sent to your local pharmacy. New news is as of this month, Samsung Health will be launching specialty services such as nutrition and therapy services, by appointment.

For me, sinus infections are always a problem. You may have ongoing issues like mine or you may not. However, even if you aren’t sick right now, with flu season on our heels, it’s great to know how to prevent getting the flu. You can ask an expert about tips on preventive measures you can start taking now.

If you have a Samsung device, there’s nothing for you to do. Samsung Health comes preloaded on your Samsung device. No download required! It’s just smart to take advantage of Ask an Expert’s service so go ahead and sign-up and use Ask an Expert on your Samsung phone.

About Terri

My name is Terri and I live in an urban area in central Georgia, USA. I'm a mom to three kids and two furbabies. My hobbies include photography, reading, binge-watching movies, crocheting, D.I.Y. projects of every kind, gardening, hiking, glamping, and camping. I love to travel and go sightseeing. My coffee pot is my lifeline.

It does look like a cool product. I am curious as to whether or not the doctors themselves would integrate it into their stuff as far as working with them. I don’t know of any doctor who uses that just yet.
